Water Lillies.
Hi,got some water lillies in my pond.Question is,do I remove
any lily pads that have gone yellow? Someone told me that by leaving them in,they can pollute the water and ruin any new pads. Thanks. John |

John Remove them. They decay and return nutrients to the water column. Nothing really bad, it can promote algae. Main reason is that they look ugly. Old flowers, the same. |
